Mystery Lucky Kaleidoscope - Hedgehog Fibres - MKAL 2026

Colours collide with this year's mesmerising Kaleidoscope MKAL theme!

This year's shawl invites you to create a dynamic contrasting colour palette with eight colours of fingering-weight yarn. Explore fragmented geometric shapes and reflective colour contrasts with the kaleidoscope inspiration. It's a great opportunity to step outside your comfort zone, learn something new, and gather together with Stephen West and thousands of knitters from all around the world.

About the Pattern:
To create this wearable piece of art, you’ll need to purchase the pattern on Westknits or through ravelry.com. For 4 weeks, starting 1 October, you will receive a clue (set of instructions) to knit a section of the Color Kaleidoscope Shawl. The first clue will also guide you through the placement of your 8-colour palette.

About the Kit:
There’s something particularly magical about that first peek into a kaleidoscope as the light hits the mirrors and the patterns burst forth. Add a bit of extra magic to this year’s MKAL with this kit from Hedgehog Fibres. We’ve included 50g skeins of hand-dyed superwash merino and nylon blended yarn from Hedgehog Fibres in Sock in 8 different colours. If you accept the Mohair Dare, your kit will include a 25g ball of lace weight mohair silk in a coordinating colour. 

Kit Contents:

• 8 contrasting colours of 50g skeins from Hedgehog Fibres
• Your only hint before that first peek inside is the name: Lucky

Mohair Dare Add On:
Looking for a little extra challenge? Add a 25g skein of West Wool Glowhair in a mysterious coordinating colour that matches the theme.

Please Note: When purchasing one of our kits, colour variation may occur across yarns that are hand-dyed or dyed in batches. We take great care in photographing our kits and yarns accurately, however colours may vary slightly from the pictures.
